喜樂美語
  1. 1aA2/ˌhoʊmˈmeɪd/ · /ˌhəʊmˈmeɪd/自製的；家裡做的

    made at home, not bought ready-made from a shop or factory

    示範例句 · Example

    Try one of these homemade cookies. They're delicious!

    逐字試試看這些自製餅乾中的一個。它們很好吃！

    「homemade」是「在家裡做的、不是店裡買現成的」。英文最常拿來形容食物：homemade soup、homemade cookies。homemade 跟 handmade 容易搞混——homemade 帶有「家裡廚房做出來」的感覺，handmade 帶有「用手精心做出來」的感覺（地毯、衣服、家具）。核心畫面可以想成「家裡做的」，不是工廠一整批做出來的。

core核心畫面

Think of a jar of jam with a label instead of a printed one. The word points at where the thing came from — someone's kitchen or garage, not a shop shelf — and everything people feel about it follows from that: it is a bit uneven, made in a small amount, and made by a person you could name.

可以想成一罐果醬，標籤是手寫的，不是印上去的。這個字指的是東西的來處——某個人的廚房或車庫，而不是貨架——大家對它的感覺也都是從這裡長出來的：形狀不太整齊、數量不多，而且做的人你叫得出名字。
